I Hate It Here

(One, two)

(One, two, three)

Bm
Quick, quick

Tell me something awful
               D
Like you are a poet
Trapped inside the body of a finance
  G
 guy

Tell me all your secrets

All you'll ever be is
                         Bm
My eternal consolation prize

You see, I was a debutant in another
 D
 life, but
Now I seem to be scared to go 
    G
outside

If comfort is a construct

I don't believe in good luck

Now that I know what's what

  D
I hate it here, so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind
Bm
People need a key to get to

The only one is mine
   A                               
I read about it in a book when I 
                 G
was a precocious child

No mid-sized city hopes and 
small-town fears
D                                 
 I'm there most of the year, 
                Bm
'cause I hate it here
              A   G
I hate it here

Bm
My friends used to play a game where
                D
We would pick a decade
We wished we could live in instead 
    G
of this

I'd say the 1830s, but without all 
the racists

And getting married off for the 
         Bm
highest bid

Everyone would look down, 'cause it 
             D
wasn't fun now
Seems like it was never even fun 
        G
back then

Nostalgia is a mind's trick

If I'd been there, I'd hate it

It was freezing in the palace

  D
I hate it here, so I will go to

Lunar valleys in my mind
Bm
When they found a better planet

Only the gentle survived
    A
I dreamed about it in the dark
                               G
The night I felt like I might die

No mid-sized city hopes and 
small-town fears
D                                 
I'm there most of the year, 'cause
                Bm
 I hate it here
               A  G
I hate it here

    A
I'm lonely, but I'm good

I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine
     G
I'll save all my romanticism for my 
inner life
             Em       Bm
And I'll get lost on purpose
                G        D
This place made me feel worthless
Em                          Bm
Lucid dreams like electricity

The current flies through me
    G                         D
And in my fantasies, I rise above it
    G*
And way up there, I actually love it

  D
I hate it here, so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind
Bm
People need a key to get to

The only one is mine

   A

                 G
